I am this close to throwing my work computer out the window. I don't want to talk to IT anymore either.

Plus im cramping and generally bitchy ATM.

My friend coworker and second mom was told cancer is to advanced and she has two months. They are starting hospice care.

I can't imagine not having her there. She has helped so many people at work with her groups and she really wanted to help the Pts. Ugh

Huck woke up this morning and refused her breakfast and was sticking close to the wall or under the table, huddled in a little ball of pain. So I took her to the vet ASAP and they have her. I haven't heard anything yet as to what the issue might be, though I'm thinking it's something in her GI tract, either constipation or a small blockage caused by her fascination with cotton balls.
Crap. Vibes that its nothing serious! :(

"I don't feel like being in a relationship with you is what I need at this moment."

Or just, "No," would suffice.
Yep.

You could do what I did recently and loudly and publicly tell her "I'm unfriending you" while you show her you're deleting her phone number from your cellphone. Then say "bye-bee" and leave. Done. But it's best to just escort somebody from your life BEFORE you're pushed into being a rude bitch in public. So just "no" is really a good way to go.

Life is really too **** short for toxic people to be a part of it.
Just say no! I had to end my friendship with my sister for very similar reasons. We barely talked for a year and now (three years later) we talk but I set VERY careful boundaries and I say no. A lot. I give no ****s if it hurts her feelings, I have feelings too and sometimes you have to take care of yourself first.

There is no reason to stay in a toxic relationship - or to let yourself be drawn back into one - and every reason to stay out.
Thanks!
Set some time aside to talk about it tomorrow. We're going to meet during lunch, & I'll just tell her then.

Hopefully, once I tell her we shouldn't be friends, she'll leave me alone.She's one of those people who obesses over things, & will keep coming back even if you tell her no.

Really hoping this works.

Please enlighten me, in your "50 years of dog ownership" (She just turned 50), how many problem dogs have you dealt with?

Oh right, 0 because every time you have an issue the dog either ends up with a bullet between it's eyes or dumped on someone else.

:wall:
I'm just trying to make sure my food aggressive dog isn't subjected to situations where she will attack
:wall:

Moving home was a terrible idea.

The vet bill came to $370 today...but they cleaned out Huck's ears (which had quite a few mites. Apparently I'm not all that good at cleaning cat ears) for free while she was under sedation.

I feel I may be murdered in my sleep tonight judging by the looks she gave me when I picked her up from the vet's.

ARGH. I got a call from the humane society about my job app. Only I got the call THURSDAY. And my phone just decided to tell me I had voicemail TODAY. Just now, actually, at 8:30pm.

WHAT THE **** PHONE. THIS ****'S IMPORTANT.

Now I don't know if it's too late to call back. Granted, I probably won't accept their job, but I want the interview experience (and hey, you never know, maybe they'll impress me).

Arrrgggghhh my hours on Mondays are changing. I'll now be starting at 6:45am instead of 8am. I HATE MORNINGS. This just means I have to wake up earlier which is going to make me think I need to go to bed earlier which is going to lead to me stressing out on Sunday nights and probably not being able to fall asleep at all.

The upside is that I'll get off at 5:45pm instead of 7pm. But still. I don't do change well.

Just finished Supernatural on Netflix, and I feel dead.

I'm way behind watching season 9 on normal tv, and omfg I just don't even. I was going to go on and finish Sherlock and re-watch all Doctor Who that's on Netflix, but now I don't know what to do with my life.

Maybe just watch it all over again.

Torchwood. Because when you think you can't be any more dead, it'll kill you that much more. Doitnao.

This is actually good to know. I like my shows to carve out a piece of my soul and the things I've been seeing on Pinterest were making me hopeful of such an outcome.

Yes. Guess who is rewatching CoE because apparently I feel I have an excess of happy in my life?

I think I'm going to have to quit my job. I love the people, and the hours give me a lot of freedom, and I even like and get along greatly with most of my co-workers... except for two.

I just can't do this anymore. I am so fed up with being angry and depressed and having anxiety. I can't even fall asleep like a normal person anymore. I wish things were different, I wish the boss wasn't friends with these two people so maybe I'd have a chance of talking to my boss about this and maybe not working with them or something, but I'm not willing to walk into any more train wrecks.

Also, playing the submissive, quite person when I really just want them to shut up and stop acting like children kills me. Gods. I actually really care about my residents (and caring is not any easy thing for me). I'm going to miss them so much.

Is being happy more often than every once in a while too much to bloody ask? With everything else that's been happening recently, I can't deal with this anymore. I think I've carried this out long enough. 3 years is enough. I've been more stubborn and stronger than them for three whole years. I'm not going to hate myself and drive myself crazy anymore.

There has to still be good in this world somewhere. I just need to find it.

I'm so stressed about work. For the last couple months there were strong rumors of layoffs on 2/26. The day is finally here and .... nothing? Nobody is saying anything. We're not sure if they're called off for our site completely, or just postponed for a few weeks. So stressful. I have no motivation to do anything until we find out what's going on.
